The new Refill I've been working on is now online & available. It feels great to finally be able to think of this mega(byte) project as finished. We sampled a Fairlight IIx and put together presets and patches for Reason (version 4). And demo tracks. And made some Combinator patches. Click the headline to read more about it & hear some demos.
Some people have asked for WAV/AIFF libraries in order to use the samples in other sample players. Problem: No one has found out such a smart way to package sounds as Propellerheads. To my knowledge. The Refill format is just great. One file with everything. All 1700 sampled sounds.
Remember Master And Servant?
It's a lot.

I might be directing this to the wrong place, so sorry if I am!
ReplyDeleteI bought and downloaded this library yesterday and I'm a bit confused. I suspect my confusion is my due to not having used Reason in quite a long while and I'm hoping you can help me out.
I first downloaded the free Fairlight CMI Supremacy Alpha Refill to try some of the sounds out. It all sounded quite wonderful so I went ahead and bought the Refill.
There are quite a few sxt files in the NN-XT folder in the Supremacy Alpha and in their respective disk folders. And they all sound lovely! But when I go the full set of Fairlight disk folders in the Legacy Refill, they all seem empty (apart from disc 38 Long Play with various REX files)! This is the case whether the Search box in Reason is showing All Instruments or NN-XT patches. Hmmm...
I'm sure they're there and it's almost certainly some idiocy on my part that means I'm not seeing them or going about things the wrong way. As I said, I've not used Reason for a while and am probably overlooking something pretty basic here and thinking about this the wrong way...
What I've heard sounds great and I look forward to exploring the rest of it soon! I'd be grateful for any advice!

Hi! It depends how you browse the files. If you search for Subtractor patches, you will see none of the NNXT patches; if you search for NNXT sample patches you won't see the very samples. But it's all there.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you should know the Refill format compresses file sizes of samples but not the audio quality of the samples. This is brilliantly made by Propellerehead.
If you have more questions, please direct them to PowerFX.
Cheers

Thanks for the reply, Patrick, I did also email PowerFX, so there might be a crossed message there. I was this morning writing you a long reply as I was still having problems, but then I worked it out...!
ReplyDeleteMy mistake was trying to find NN-XT patches rather than locating the samples as wavs using Load Sample within the NN-XT itself.
Now I feel a little stupid but also happy!
Have a good Easter!

Thank you! ;) Glad u sorted it out. There is an update for Supremacy called rev 1.10 due for release shortly on PowerFX. Use Supremacy (which is free) for patch updates. It also contains demo sounds for those who want to try it all out a bit.
ReplyDeleteKudos!
Patrick
I've just downloaded the updated Supremacy refill and it's very welcome with all these many extra patches.
ReplyDelete(My only slight disappointment for a Fairlight library is that the Sounds Made Famous section is still missing Kate Bush...!)
:D
ReplyDeleteGreat. Of course I would add Kate Bush if I only found some sounds that would be recognizable from her music. Any hints?
Best,
Patrick
